In the 1880s, as the European powers were carving up Africa, King Leopold II of Belgium seized for himself the vast and mostly unexplored territory surrounding the Congo River. Carrying out a genocidal plundering of the Congo, he looted its rubber, brutalized its people, and ultimately slashed its population by ten million--all the while shrewdly cultivating his reputation as a great humanitarian. Heroic efforts to expose these crimes eventually led to the first great human rights movement of the twentieth century, in which everyone from Mark Twain to the Archbishop of Canterbury participated. King Leopold's Ghost is the haunting account of a megalomaniac of monstrous proportions, a man as cunning, charming, and cruel as any of the great

At the time the book was written it was the late 19th century, Victorian era; and at the time Victorians were fascinated by ghosts - a perfect reason to write a psychological ghost story.

Like “The Red Room” the story is told in the first person. However, the protagonist in “The Red Room” is logical and rational, yet naïve: “I can assure you… it will take a very tangible ghost to frighten me” this gives a warning to the readers that something horrific will happen. His view that that the mystery of the red room can be explained rationally reflects the time H.G.Wells was writing in: modernity was concerned with replacing belief in magic and ghosts with scientific knowledge. Tension is built by putting such a modern man in a setting with sinister old people whose lives are affected by the irrational.

Hellen, The story was about the murders of three people and the clues surrounding the purpose of those murders. In what way does the clues identify the story as being fictional? What is a numeric puzzle? I believe the outcome was very realistic. A vengeful criminal trying to get back at a law enforcement officer for what he perceived as an injustice to his brother. Basically good over evil. I like your assessment that the man was being absorbed by the novel and therefore, he became the novel. I do not believe there was a twist in the novel but a natural occurrence of a "dream" becoming reality. It was a suspenseful turn of events at the end. The young woman wanting to attend to the young man's doubts about what he was about to do and him knowing

Robert Moses was the creator of New York City, Long Island, and Westchester County, NY throughout the 1 1930s and 1950s. He had transformed neighborhoods into shorelines and highways/roadways. He was very successful and changed NYC forever. However, some believed that he had removed lower-class residents from their homes to benefit the rich. I believe that he had helped the people of the future by making their life easier and untroublesome. But he was also very inconsiderate with the people who he had displaced to create a better future for the working society today. He had ignored the people of New York City, who had made the city up. Streets, playgrounds, and pools do not make a city, but the people who live within it do. Michael Powell

A ghost is “a disembodied soul,” according to the definition found within Merriam-Webster’s dictionary. However, in the novel The Woman Warrior by Maxine Hong Kingston, the term ghost adopts a meaning that holds a much greater depth. All throughout the text, the word “ghost” reoccurs in a metaphorical sense that binds together the overlying theme of culture disconnect between the generations of the Chinese-Americans. Kingston equips figurative usage of ghosts in order to establish a setting in which there is an evident cultural gap between those described as ghosts, and those who live and breathe in a traditional Chinese sense.
